Chemical Reactions Chapter 11
What is a Chemical Reaction? • The process in which atoms of one or more substances are rearranged to form new different substances
Evidence of Chemical Reactions • Temperature change (hot or cold) • Light • Color change • Odor • Gas bubbles • Appearance of solids
Reactants and Products A + B C + D
Word Equations • Use the names to show a reactions • Ex: • Iron (s) + Chlorine (g) Iron (III) Chloride (s)
Skeleton Equation • Uses symbols to show reaction • Ex: • Iron (s) + Chlorine (g) Iron (III) Chloride (s) • Would become • Fe (s) + Cl2 (g) FeCl3 (s)
Law of Conservation of Mass • You cannot create nor destroy mass • After a chemical reaction, no matter can be made and no matter can be destroyed • Mass Reactants = Mass Products
Example Problem H2 + Br2 HBr Mass reactants = Mass Products =
Balancing Equations • To satisfy the law of conservation of mass, you have to balance equations to make the mass of the reactants = mass products
Adding Coefficients Have to make the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation H2 + Br2 2HBr Coefficients multiply every atom in the compound or molecule
Classifying Chemical RXN’s • You can classify chemical reactions in one of five categories • Synthesis • Decomposition • Combustion • Single Replacement • Double Replacement
Synthesis Reactions • Synthesis = to make • Take two things and make one • A + B = AB • Ex: • Fe + Cl FeCl • Na + Cl NaCl
Decomposition Reactions • Decompose = break down • One thing breaks down into two • AB A + B • Ex: • NH4NO3 N2O + H2O • NaN3 Na + N2
Combustion Reactions • Reactions where you have combustion • Engines, gas grills, gas fireplaces, burning things • Oxygen is always a reactant and CO2 & H2O are always the products • Ex: • CH4 + O2 CO2 + H2O
Single Replacement Reactions • One Ion switches places with another • A + BX AX + B • Ex: • Cu + AgNO3 CuNO3 + Ag • F2 + NaBr NaF + Br2
Double Replacement Reactions • Two ions switch places with each other • AX + BY AY + BX • Ex: • Ca(OH) + HCl CaCl + HOH • NaOH + CuCl NaCl + CuOH • KCN + HBr KBr + HCN
